Eros assuming a female form (Art by VirginieSiveton)
Eros, also known as Cupid, is the Greek Primordial God of Love, known for being the most beautiful of the immortal gods.
Description[]
A universal cosmic force, he became Aphrodite’s companion soon after her birth, which he had previously overseen. Eros, despite being a love deity, is so powerful that even Zeus shows apprehension of him as the Primordial exceeds Zeus in both power and age. Eros has been connected to the primordial entity Phanes to where sometimes they are both treated as the same deity.
Overview[]
He was the driving force behind the generation of new life in the cosmos. Eros was the son of Chaos, the original emptiness of the Universe. He is the younger brother to Chronos, Tartarus and Gaia and the older brother to Nyx and Erebus. He was also equivalent to Thesis (Creation) and Physis (Nature).
Before he would become one with the concepts of existence and that which gives purpose to all things, Eros placed a piece of himself within the womb of Aphrodite in order to be reborn as a lesser but mighty god, likely around during the concept of said deity between Aphrodite and Ares, and finds a place among the Olympian pantheon to become the god of love.
